+<h3 class="section">10.4 Generating your own code</h3>
+<a name="index-code-generator-1"></a>
+
+<p>The directory <code>genfft</code> contains the programs that were used to
+generate FFTW&rsquo;s &ldquo;codelets,&rdquo; which are hard-coded transforms of small
+sizes.
+<a name="index-codelet-2"></a>
+We do not expect casual users to employ the generator, which is a rather
+sophisticated program that generates directed acyclic graphs of FFT
+algorithms and performs algebraic simplifications on them.  It was
+written in Objective Caml, a dialect of ML, which is available at
+<a href="http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html">http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html</a>.
+<a name="index-Caml"></a>
+</p>
+
+<p>If you have Objective Caml installed (along with recent versions of
+GNU <code>autoconf</code>, <code>automake</code>, and <code>libtool</code>), then you
+can change the set of codelets that are generated or play with the
+generation options.  The set of generated codelets is specified by the
+<code>{dft,rdft}/{codelets,simd}/*/Makefile.am</code> files.  For example, you can add
+efficient REDFT codelets of small sizes by modifying
+<code>rdft/codelets/r2r/Makefile.am</code>.
+<a name="index-REDFT-2"></a>
+After you modify any <code>Makefile.am</code> files, you can type <code>sh
+bootstrap.sh</code> in the top-level directory followed by <code>make</code> to
+re-generate the files.
+</p>
+<p>We do not provide more details about the code-generation process, since
+we do not expect that most users will need to generate their own code.
+However, feel free to contact us at <a href="mailto:fftw@fftw.org">fftw@fftw.org</a> if
+you are interested in the subject.
+</p>
+<a name="index-monadic-programming"></a>
+<p>You might find it interesting to learn Caml and/or some modern
+programming techniques that we used in the generator (including monadic
+programming), especially if you heard the rumor that Java and
+object-oriented programming are the latest advancement in the field.
+The internal operation of the codelet generator is described in the
+paper, &ldquo;A Fast Fourier Transform Compiler,&rdquo; by M. Frigo, which is
+available from the <a href="http://www.fftw.org">FFTW home page</a> and also
+appeared in the <cite>Proceedings of the 1999 ACM SIGPLAN Conference on
+Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)</cite>.
